How could you use the barometer to determine the height of a building?

1 answer:

5 0

Take the barometer to the roof of the building. Drop the barometer from the edge of the roof, and, with your wrist watch or a stop watch, measure the time it takes for the barometer to hit the ground or the street below. Then the height of the roof, in meters, is 4.9 times the square of the time in seconds.

Which style of painting is the Peale family known for?

Misha Larkins [42]

The correct answer is option B, representational

All the painters in Peale family were involved in paintings which represent the day today life activities or were portraits or mimic some natural forms.

Charles Willson Peale , the head of the Peale family was known for painting sixty portraits of the first American president, George Washington. He also painted portraits of portraits of notable people of the society such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson etc.

Most of the paintings of peale family were based on the theme of family, art and science. Six of Peale’s son were known for their renaissance paintings. His oldest son Raphelle was known for still life paintings.

Titian Ramsay Peale, Charles’ youngest son was a naturalist painter.

Mercury has a radial acceleration of 3.96 × 10−2 m/s2 and its orbital period is T = 88 days. What is the radius of Mercury’s orb

Maslowich

Answer: 58,045,522,878.8 meters

Explanation:

Ok, the data we have is

Period = T = 88 days

Radial acceleration = ar = 3.96x10^-2 m/s^2

And we know that the equation for the radial acceleration is:

ar = v^2/r = r*w^2

Where v is the velocity. r is the radius and w is the angular velocity.

And we know that:

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency, and:

T = 1/f.

Then we can write:

w = 2*pi/T

and our equation becomes:

ar = r*(2*pi/T)^2

Now we solve this for r.

First we need to use the same units in both equations, so we want to write T in seconds.

T = 88 days,

A day has 24 hours, and one hour has 3600 seconds:

T = 88*24*3600 s =7,603,200s

Then:

3.96x10^-2 m/s^2 = r*(2*3.14/7,603,200s)^2

r = (3.96x10^-2 m/s^2) /(2*3.14/7,603,200s)^2 = 58,045,522,878.8 meters

25% part (c) assume that d is the distance the cheetah is away from the gazelle when it reaches full speed. Derive an expression

levacccp [35]

maximum speed of cheetah is

$v_1 = v_{max}$

speed of gazelle is given as

$v_2 = v_{g}$

Now the relative speed of Cheetah with respect to Gazelle

$v_{12} = v_1 - v_2$

$v_{12} = v_{max} - v_g$

now the relative distance between Cheetah and Gazelle is given initially as "d"

now the time taken by Cheetah to catch the Gazelle is given as

$d = v_{12}* t$

so by rearranging the terms we can say

$t = \frac{d}{v_{12}}$

$t = \frac{d}{v_{max} - v_g}$

so above is the relation between all given variable

A block of 250-mm length and 48 × 40-mm cross section is to support a centric compressive load P. The material to be used is a b

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

153.6 kN

Explanation:

The elastic constant k of the block is

k = E * A/l

k = 95*10^9 * 0.048*0.04/0.25 = 729.6 MN/m

0.12% of the original length is:

0.0012 * 0.25 m = 0.0003 m

Hooke's law:

F = x * k

Where x is the change in length

F = 0.0003 * 729.6*10^6 = 218.88 kN (maximum force admissible by deformation)

The compressive load will generate a stress of

σ = F / A

F = σ * A

F = 80*10^6 * 0.048 * 0.04 = 153.6 kN

The smallest admisible load is 153.6 kN
